they're not as green as you think goat, with the unburnt oil thing and all, the fuel economy like you said though is absolutely fantastic.
i'm not saying they're the anti-christ, just not the environmental godsend some people think they are.A properly tuned two smoke will pass a emissions test and better than you think. There is documentation here on this forum..2 stroke emissions test - Google Search

While this could be argued for days. Properly tuned they are super duper and at 100 and more miles to the gallon well... I burnt less fuel today the alternative was a car or start peddling. Yes their are the electrics too.
So if we all were to just learn to embrace the hate we'll feel better about our selvesi like to sit on my buddy's balcony at the beach, and everytime i see a motorized bike (usually electric) i always yell "CHEATER!" at them. and when a couple cruises by on a tandem, i always yell "SHE'S NOT PEDALING!"
it's the little things in life that make me happy.
back on the subject, all the bike trails around here are off-limits, so i don't worry about it. but on the road, we all have the same rights. i think it's funny that you guys are so worried about someone complaining and suddenly we're outlawed. i just don't think it's gonna happen. (unless you live in san luis obispo. thanks to a little kid in grade school's campaign, everyone under 18 has to wear a helmet on a bike, skateboard, etc. they also pushed the no smoking in bars law through. i hate that crappy town...)
there's always gonna be someone to complain, and someone to complain about. slow moving pedestrians hate runners, beach cruisers hate roadies, roadies hate us, we hate cars...
it's the circle of life.
Just don't try to drink itwe were talking about his set up in the shout box and agreed it seemed similar to a water bong, which meant it would need the maintenance of that because it would be collecting oil in the water so it would have to be changed semi frequently, interesting idea though.
but it looks so shiney O_O i like shiney D: and if i drink teh shiney maybe i can be shiney tooJust don't try to drink it
You're right. It does drive them wild when you power by them on the trail smoking a joint lol. Oh, you meant 2 stroke smoke, never mind.The best vengeance is a big smile... and a little smoke.
did you fondle their bearings too?I blew off 3 spandexers
